The first week,
before the first dollar.
Whether you posted a job or told us about the work, it starts the same way: a week of real work, in your brand, before any call. A named specialist in the job answers for the quality, and nothing goes out in your name until you say so.

Your Social Media Manager request, first week done
Hi Nora,
You told us this week what you would like taken care of. Here is the first week of it, done: from your Instagram and your Saturday bakes, I planned two weeks of posts, wrote the first twelve and drafted replies to your newest comments.
If it reads right, the same work keeps going: a free week that starts with a short call, then $1,500 a month, month to month. If something is off, tell me what and I’ll fix it before you decide.
Your pageWhenever you like
You see the work, then decide.
Every piece says why it was made that way and what it was based on. Ask for changes; nothing goes out in your name. The offer is on the same page, in plain words.

A little clarity. In plain words.
What do I need to give you?
To start, nothing: the first week is built from what is already public about your business. If you go ahead, you invite the job into the accounts it needs, the way you would a new colleague, and we agree the hours, what needs your yes and how you want to be kept informed.
How long until the job is running?
The first week of work is on your page before we talk. If you go ahead, your free week starts with a short call with your specialist, and the job works in your own channels as soon as you connect the accounts it needs, usually that same day.
Rather talk first?
Book the call without a card. Ask anything about the work or the job, and add a card when you want to start.
What if the work isn’t right?
Tell us what needs changing. Your specialist reviews the issue and guides the correction. You keep control of what goes out in your name.
Can I stop it?
Yes, at any moment, in one message: stop this piece, stop this kind of thing, or stop the job. Stopping the job takes one note, and nothing more is charged. There is no contract term and no notice period.
Stop any day with one note. Your accounts and your work stay yours.
There is no contract term. The job runs month to month, and the first week is done before you decide anything.
